100th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote |
|
|
|
100th Anniversary! Purple, white and gold banners have been placed at the Pillsbury Free Library, Town Hall, Warner Pharmacy, Warner Public Market, and MainStreet BookEnds this week, commemorating ratification of the 19th amendment to the Constitution in 1920, giving United States women the right to vote.
A committee of volunteers researched historical details, sewed banners, and then Becky MacDonald and her husband created and installed the displays. Several planned events have been postponed to 2021, but each of these banner displays includes a different set of interesting facts for you to read.
